Dont rate ebay for selling cars!

I have had my Mgztt on Ebay for three days, its a bargain for what it is, yet people want stuff for nothing. I'd rather watch spiders spin webs on it than drop the price any lower!!

I dont think youre asking too much! I was just looking at a thread in the zt and 75 section of the mg-rover,org. There is somebody on there asking for advice about 2 cars . Both have higher mileage than yours! Also both more expensive! Take a look, maybe worth contacting him? (saying that he is in the isle of wight, and I didnt notice where you are located!).

The asking start price is to high IMHO for EBay.
You have a reserve so get them tempted onto bidding by lowering the start price.

Agreed!,

You should have started at about £500 and kept the same reserve, that would get a lot of people interested and some early bids, with a starting price of £3000 and reserve not met they will assume your reserve is way out of reach and not bother bidding
